Chapter 34: Old Things in Hell

"Tsk, I knew that Marisa guy was going to get me in trouble! Sure enough, the next time there is a change, it is right to retire her first. ”

"Let's go help, Reimu."

"Hey, got it."

After getting the exact news of Marisa's accident from Pacully, Takeya naturally didn't have time to argue with the other party anymore, so he dragged Reimu and immediately prepared to leave.

"Yo, aren't you in a bad mood and annoyed? Why are you in good spirits now? ”

Even in the end, Kaguya didn't mean to let go of Takeya, and he insisted on disgusting him.

"That kind of thing when I bring Marisa back!"

Although there is an element of gambling contained in it, Wu Ye is roughly thinking about it now, and the sudden incident of the resentful spirits in the outside world does worry him, but now Marisa's affairs are priority!

"Let's go! Reimu! ”

"Wu Ye, you guy, don't steal all the handsome lines!"

Reimu scolded and set up the flightless Takeya from behind, and used his spiritual power to hold up his body and instantly rush into the sky, and in less than a few seconds, the two disappeared into Kaguya's eyes.

"Be careful all the way~"

Holding a strange white handkerchief to say goodbye to the two, the smile on Kaguya's face was indescribably subtle.

......

"Whoa—haha, it feels super cool to fly at full speed."

Takeya, who was taken to the sky by Reimu, felt a simple "coolness" for the first time.

The wind blew Takeya's hair to pieces, but he was unexpectedly not disgusted by it, on the contrary, he felt that the comfort of the journey had swept away his previous depression.

It's just that Wu is also cool, but Lingmeng suffers.

"It's noisy, shut up Takeya, why are you so noisy today? Drop you down! ”

Reimu, who was extremely depressed by Wu Ye's strange screams, couldn't help but complain, when she dragged Wu Ye to fly in the past, the other party was either trembling and didn't dare to move, or was so afraid that he couldn't even open his eyes, and he would be as energetic as he is now.

In fact, not to mention that Reimu doesn't know all kinds of reasons, even Wu Ye is afraid that he won't be able to detect it for a while, as far as he is concerned, I'm afraid it's just because he suddenly feels that the feeling of flying is a little novel.

The real reason is that the demonic power that Takeya has is subtly changing his body.

Adaptability has increased, and naturally there is no reason to be afraid.

However, Reimeng's threat is still very real, and with Take's understanding of her, if she is really unhappy, she will definitely not hesitate to throw Takeya down and fall into meat sauce.

Wu Ye, who was excited for a while, also thought of this, so he silently restrained the blood in his heart that called for mountains, rivers and seas.

"Reimu, how long are we left?"

The dry journey was very boring, and Wu Ye took the initiative to find some topics in order not to let himself endure the discomfort:

"Do you know where the wind cave Patchouli said just now?"

"By Wind Cave she was talking about the Fantasy Wind Cave, a filthy cavern, but it was the only passage on the surface that led to the old hell."

The journey is boring, and Reimu is also happy to give Wu Ye a knowledge to relieve his boredom:

"Do you know the old hell?"

"You've heard of the ruins of hell, right? That hell before the relocation. ”

"That's right."

Reimu nodded, in fact, she didn't know much about this, most of them were heard from the elders, but it was more than enough to use them to solve Wu Ye's doubts:

"In the past, the other side and hell were separated, and the king of Hades judged the dead souls in the Hall of Right and Wrong on the other side, and only the guilty were sent to hell, but then something happened, and the other side and hell were fused together."

"Something's wrong? What's up? ”

"The hell that used to be, and the old hell that is now now, finally collapsed because of the impact of a large number of souls."

Reimu recounted the earth-shattering event in a flat tone:

"It was about a thousand years ago, and no one can say exactly when it happened, but there seems to be a big war on the ground, and a large number of dead souls are unwilling to be judged, and they who are not completely dead want to return to this world again, so they rush into hell to make trouble."

"Huh? Can it still be like this? ”

Wu also asked with some surprise, in his memory, the undead were like that floating around like clouds, without desire and desire.

"You're thinking too much about the undead, Takeya."

Reimu naturally saw Wu Ye's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but say helplessly:

"The souls of ordinary people, or souls that have been dead for a long time, may indeed become as harmless as you think, but some souls are different."

"Some souls? Could it be, youkai's? ”

"This answer is half right, the correct statement should be 'the soul of the strong'."

Reimu said seriously, it was hard to imagine that such a lazy money-greedy witch would show such an expression, it seemed that this story was even more unusual than Wu Ye expected.

"I've heard them say once in a while, that a thousand years of war isn't just between youkai and youkai, it's also about humans."

"Humans?"

Wu Ye was stunned, how could he not have thought that he would always go to these words and still be able to rub against them humans.

It wasn't surprising that he would think so, after all, the only human he'd ever seen so far that could barely be called a strong man was Marisa.

Hakurei Shrine Maiden, Penglai people, in the case of these special groups of people, he really doesn't know how the remaining ordinary humans are going to fight with youkai.

"You're underestimating humans, Takeya."

Reimu sighed and said:

"Human beings at that time were different from now, I don't know how many of the legends you know are true and how many are false, but human beings in history are not as unbearable as you think."

Seeing Wu Ye's puzzled gaze, Reimu said in a deep voice:

"Taoist priests, onmyoji, exorcists, as far as I know, these are all real things in history, otherwise why do you think Purple would have put so much effort into establishing Gensokyo, do you think that those guys with hoes and sticks alone can force the monsters to give in?"

"Okay."

Wu also knew that what he thought was too simple, and it seemed that the legends were not all false, but because there was no way to collect evidence now, most people scoffed at it.

"So, it's the souls of youkai and humans that are crushing hell to the ground?"

"That's right, because the dead are powerful souls, and before they are completely transformed into undead, their ability to make trouble is no worse than when they were alive."

Thinking about it, Reimu said indifferently:

"So hell was simply crumbled by them, and then the hell guys suppressed it with all their might, but the ruin of hell could no longer be repaired, so they gave up the original hell and built a new hell on the other side."

"And then that dilapidated hell became the old hell now."

"Yes."

"Is there anything else in the old hell? Death? ”

"How is that possible?"

Reimu rolled his eyes and Wu also said:

"Now that the old hell has been abandoned, of course there will be no more Grim Reaper to guard it, and I'm not familiar with the old hell, but I guess there are probably some resentful spirits left over there that were not judged and were transformed by the undead."

"That's right."

So, the spirits that appear on the ground and in the outside world come out of the old hell? Listening to Reimu's words, Wu was also thoughtful.
